Abstract

This text is aimed at providing both basic and advanced knowledge on the individual cell modeling in a flow. Besides the overview of various existing approaches, it is focused on mesh-based model and on its capabilities to cover complex mechano-elastic properties combined with adhesion and magnetic phenomena. We also describe validation procedures, offer an example of use of the model for better understanding of cell behavior and a short overview of future research directions.
